Amino sugars coupling

In a total synthesis of inhibitors of this kind, the following methods have so far been employed successfully (a) reaction of a cyclohexenyl halide with an amine, (b) coupling of an amine with an epoxide, and (c) condensation of an amine with ketone and reduction of the resulting Schiff base (reductive alkylation of an amino sugar).

There are two basic approaches used to characterize seawater DOM (Benner, 2002). The first of these is to directly analyze bulk compositions (e.g., elemental or isotopic compositions) or individual compounds in the sample without concentration. This approach requires high-sensitivity methods for either broad biochemical types (e.g., total amino acids or carbohydrates) or individual compounds, often by either spectroscopic or chromatographic methods coupled to electrochemical or mass spectro-metric detectors. The latter type of molecular-level analyses are now feasible for measuring individual amino acids (Lindroth and Mopper, 1979), sugars (Skoog et al., 1999), and amino sugars (Kaiser and Benner,... 

Tables V-LVII detail H and F shift and coupling information, and Tables LVIII to LXXI incorporate the C-n.m.r. data. The data within this compilation are arranged according to the following outline hexoses prior to pentoses, followed by anhydro sugars, sugar acids and lactones, amino sugars (and their synthetic, A -containing precursors), mono-, di-, and tri-deoxy sugars, branched derivatives, ketoses, polyfluorinated monosaccharides, and, finally, difluorinated amino sugars. Within this compilation, and even within each table, pyranoid derivatives are listed prior to their furanoid counterparts, hexoses prior to pentoses, functionalized prior to deoxy compounds the arrangement within each sub-table is made alphabetically.

Amino acids may also undergo thermal degradation, which is almost always coupled with some other food components, particular sugars. The major types of volatile compounds formed from amino-sugar interactions include Strecker degradation aldehydes, alkyl pyrazines, alkyl thiazolines and thiazoles and other heterocycles [35, 36]. As the subject has mainly relevance for baked and roasted vegetable food products, this subject will not be discussed in further detail. 

Figure 10 Hypothetical structure of APS in HMW DOM. Spectroscopic and molecular-level analyses suggest that approximately one-third of APS is neutral sugars, one-third amino sugars, and one-third unidentified carbohydrate. The consistency in monosaccharide distribution, and the fixed relative amount of acetate to total carbohydrate suggests these portions of HMW DOM are coupled into the same macromolecular stmcture. Further work needs to be done to establish the coupling of neutral and amino sugars directly, and to identify the unknown component of APS to bring molecular-level and spectroscopic measurements into better agreement.

In the case of amino sugars with the hydroxyl group at position 2, the use of the benzyl group as the hydroxyl protective group leads to stereoselective formation of 1,2-cw-glycoside. Thus, the 2-O-benzyl-protected glycosyl bromide 40 was coupled with the alcohol derivative 41 to produce conveniently the a-glycosidic product 42 in 44% yield [45] (compoimds 40-42 ).
